(a) There is hereby established a temporary practice authorization program for the purpose of allowing the temporary practice of registered professional nurses and licensed practical nurses in a county or facility designated by the federal government as medically underserved. Provided, however, that an individual who becomes licensed through the temporary practice authori- zation program must live in New York state and commit to work for the entity for which they were temporarily authorized to practice for a period of no less than three years upon such applicant becoming perma- nently licensed. (b) Registered professional nurse or licensed practical nurse. (i) A person who is currently licensed and in good standing in another state or territory of the United States to practice as a registered profes- sional nurse or a licensed practical nurse may be temporarily authorized to practice such licensed profession pursuant to this article pending a determination on licensure for which an application has been filed pursuant to this article, provided: (1) such applicant has obtained the endorsement of an employing health care facility that is authorized to provide professional nursing services; (2) the position is located with- in a county or facility designated by the federal government as medically underserved; and (3) the applicant is not employed by an employment agency as defined in subdivision two of section one hundred seventy-one of the general business law. (ii) Prior to commencing practice, the applicant and an authorized representative of the employing facility shall jointly provide written notice to the department, in a form and format acceptable to the depart- ment that the applicant intends to practice in a county or facility designated by the federal government as medically underserved and the applicant shall pay a fee determined by the department. Such written notification shall also include an attestation by the applicant and the authorized representative of the employing facility that they have reviewed the requirements for licensure in New York state and that they reasonably believe such applicant to meet such requirements. Such tempo- rary authorization shall only be applied for once and shall be granted upon receipt of such notice and attestation and the payment of such fee and shall expire in one hundred eighty days, or ten days after notifica- tion that the applicant does not meet the qualifications for licensure as a registered professional nurse or licensed practical nurse, whichev- er shall occur first. (iii) The department may deny an application submitted pursuant to this section if the department determines that the employing facility demonstrates a pattern of endorsing applicants for temporary authori- zation who cannot become fully licensed because they do not meet the requirements for licensure. 3. Any person practicing as a registered nurse or licensed practical nurse in New York state pursuant to this section shall be subject to the personal and subject matter jurisdiction and disciplinary and regulatory authority of the board of regents as if such person is a licensee and as if the temporary authorization pursuant to this section is a license. Such person shall comply with applicable provisions of this title and the rules of the board of regents relating to professional practice, professional misconduct, disciplinary proceedings and penalties for professional misconduct. Failure to adhere to the notification provisions of this section may be considered unauthorized practice pursuant to section sixty-five hundred twelve of this title. 1. Physicians. (a) .
